===United Nations=== AIM has been critical of the [[United Nations]] and its coverage by the media. In February 2005, AIM alleged that United Nations correspondents, including Ian Williams, a correspondent for ''[[The Nation]]'' had accepted money from the UN while covering it for their publications. AIM also asserted that the [[United Nations Correspondents Association]] may have violated immigration laws by employing the Williams' wife.<ref>Accuracy in Media press release, [http://www.aim.org/press_release/2682_0_19_0_C/ "U.N.
